gdb: protect some 'regcache_read_pc' calls
It possible that a thread whose PC we attempt to read is already dead.
In this case, 'regcache_read_pc' errors out. This impacts the
"proceed" execution flow, where GDB quits early before having a chance
to check if there exists a pending event. To remedy, keep going with
a 0 value for the PC if 'regcache_read_pc' fails. Because the value
of PC before resuming a thread is mostly used for storing and checking
the next time the thread stops, this tolerance is expected to be
harmless for a dead thread/process.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>
* regcache.c (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function
implementation that returns 0 if the PC cannot read via
'regcache_read_pc'.
* infrun.c (proceed): Call 'regcache_read_pc_protected'
instead of 'regcache_read_pc'.
(keep_going_pass_signal): Ditto.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>
* common-regcache.h (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function
declaration.
